Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that becomes apparent in some children in the preschool and early school years!. It is hard for these children to control their behavior and/or pay attention!. It is estimated that between 3 and 5 percent of children have ADHD, or approximately 2 million children in the United States!. This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, it is likely that at least one will have ADHD!.

ADHD was first described by Dr!. Heinrich Hoffman in 1845!. A physician who wrote books on medicine and psychiatry, Dr!. Hoffman was also a poet who became interested in writing for children when he couldn't find suitable materials to read to his 3-year-old son!. The result was a book of poems, complete with illustrations, about children and their characteristics!. "The Story of Fidgety Philip" was an accurate description of a little boy who had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder!. Yet it was not until 1902 that Sir George F!. Still published a series of lectures to the Royal College of Physicians in England in which he described a group of impulsive children with significant behavioral problems, caused by a genetic dysfunction and not by poor child rearing
